Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) has said decisions on how to handle the deadly coronavirus should be up to the individual.

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) defended Donald Trump's botched response to the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday, saying he "absolutely" believes Trump handled everything right. Asked about Trump's and his own previous comments downplaying the coronavirus, Perdue dismissed it as "idle chatter" and being a "Monday morning quarterback."

Perdue made the comments at a debate against his Democratic challenger, Jon Ossoff, and Libertarian candidate Shane Hazel. Ossoff noted that about 220,000 Americans have already died from the virus and that both Trump and Perdue had made dangerous comments minimizing its risk.

"Do you believe President Trump has done everything in his power to protect the people of Georgia during this pandemic?" Ossoff repeatedly asked Perdue.

"I absolutely do, Jon," Perdue eventually answered. "And I'll tell you this — had the Democrats been involved, we'd have anarchy, like we have in Portland and Chicago and California. You guys are trying to divide the country right now, in a moment of crisis."

1. If your goal is to kill people

and do harm, yes, trump did do everything right.

Which, given his general incompetence, is an achievement.

3. He did everything the RIGHT wing has always done

Which ends up funneling tax money into their clique, killing people and ignoring facts.

2. He just made Ossof's new attack ad.

4. .. absolutely did everything right pertaining to the Covid Pandemic,...

... is Purdue shitting out load on stage and in public,... get real dude.

Has Purdue noticed the new format at the trDump Nazi Rallies,..

The back drop of paid on camera supporters are just NOW donning Covid face masks.

Where was he for nine fucking months ?trDumpie said only Pinko Socialist DemocRATS were the only ones who wore Covid face masks.

Why is trDumpie now this late in the game singing an entirely different tune. If he did this long ago and did not disparage face masks,... 70,000 innocent Americans would still be alive and not missed by loved ones.

What a Fascist fucking pig.
